The Tetris/Puzzle Game thread: We Downback-to-back

[DoctaMario]

Since I stopped playing Samsho competitively,I started getting more and more into Tetris because not only can I play it solo, I can play vs and battle Royal games and it scratches my competitive itch a bit. The beauty of it is, while it's still essentially the same game and mechanics, the meta changes depending on what version of it you're playing. Strategies that work well in Sprint, aren't optimal for Ultra, and those strats don't always hold up in 1v1, while 1v1 strats don't necessarily work as well in Tetris 99. 

 

Anybody here a Tetris/puzzle game player? 

 

 

This is more Classic Tetris, but it's a seriously hype match between two of the best:

I used to like to play that on the PS3. Still have it too!

Yeah I like Tetris 99 a lot. I probably have more time on that than any other game on my Switch but I've only recently been learning how to play it optimally. 4 Wide is pretty much the GOAT strategy and if you aren't using it, you're giving up matches I guess. Picking "Attackers" is also the best overall strat generally although it tends to attract a lot of attention sometimes. I'm starting to get into switching people I'm attacking and trying to snipe people with badges, and you can change people you're attacking with the touch screen which is convenient.

It’s a lot like Puzzle Fighter but with indie video game mascots and an anime character here and there

I don't want to have to turn my Switch back on.  It's been resting for over a year.  🤣

Iirc it’s in steam too

There's a really great puzzle game called Anode for Switch (and probably other stuff too.) You connect different color blocks and make circuits which then explode. It's kind of like puzzle fighter meets Puyo. Game is pretty cheap but well done.

I'm forever working on my 40L Sprint time in Tetris. My best time is 1:40 on official games, 1:37 on JStris which has no line clear delay. Before it was a struggle to get sub 2:00 but lately I'm getting in the 1:40s regularly which feels good. I gotta keep at this.

Just beat my Guideline Tetris personal best in 40L Sprint by a full second goofing around and using freestyle stacking rather then just going right side well Tetris-only stacking which now has me going 🤔

Aaaand just shaved off another 5 seconds! I really need to work on my finesse (not making extra key presses when rotating and moving pieces) but my pattern recognition is getting better.
